Lost Lake's Honey Merlot is a sweet, chilled red. Now, we know you're thinking, "Oh, that's just a Rosé." But that's not quite true...

The 2009 vintage is a luscious cherry red colour with sweet blackberry & raspberry aromas and a clean, fresh, plum & berry flavour. It has good length with a crisp, dry finish that makes it a perfect wine for sipping slowly or matching with a range of foods.

$18/bottle

For those of you who are true lovers of this wine , we are going to let you in on a few secrets about how the Honey Merlot is made...

The Merlot grapes are harvested from the vineyard and brought to the winery for processing. The berries are so juicy, succulent and sweet that bees come from miles around to gorge themselves on the fruit. Hence the name, "Honey Merlot".

After crushing, the must is fermented on skins and treated like any other red wine. The winemakers pay special attention to the ferment and at a secret point in time - when the sugars, alcohol, flavours and colour are in harmony - the juice is pressed from the skins and the fermentation is stopped. This creates a delectable wine that is naturally sweet like honey!

Once bottled we choose to serve Honey Merlot icy cold, in one of our special german crystal glasses with plenty of ice to keep it refreshingly cold. Perfect for the summer time...
